The Jean-Nickolaus Tretter Collection in GLBT studies is named for its founder, Jean-Nickolaus Tretter. Tretter began a personal collection in 1979 with the 10th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. In 2000, he donated the collection to the University of Minnesota Libraries in an effort to provide the collection with greater resources for preservation, new acquisitions and to provide greater access to collection materials.

The scope of the Collection is global, with materials in 58 different languages. Jean-Nickolaus Tretter served on staff for the collection until 2011.
